IRVING – One of the Cowboys’ worst moments – and there were many candidates – in Sunday’s 26-20 OT win over Kansas City came when Matt Cassel threw a play-action TD pass to LB Mike Vrabel. Vrabel entered the game with 10 career catches, all for touchdowns. Somehow the Cowboys let him go into the […]

IRVING – Reading between the lines, it sure sounded like it Monday when Williams was asked about Austin’s 10-catch, 250-yard, two-touchdowns performance in the 26-20 overtime win at Kansas City. Williams said he wasn’t surprised Austin had a big day, considering that the Chiefs entered the game ranked 28th against the pass. “I told (center) […]

IRVING – Cowboys coach Wade Phillips all but said Miles Austin has supplanted Patrick Crayton as the No. 2 receiver after his record-setting day in Kansas City. The Cowboys escaped Arrowhead Stadium with a 26-20 overtime victory thanks to Austin’s team-record 250 receiving yards and two TDs, including the winner. “He’s going to play. I […]

KANSAS CITY – Mike Vrabel’s TD reception in the second quarter Sunday was the 11th of his career. And he only has 11 catches. With that in mind, how do the Cowboys leave him wide open? It’s flat-out inexcusable to let Vrabel run free in the end zone. I mean, it’s not like they didn’t […]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jason Garrett didn’t have any glaring play-call goofs like he did in last week’s 17-10 loss to Denver, but that doesn’t mean he had a perfect day at Arrowhead Stadium. The Cowboys offensive coordinator stuck way too long with Marion Barber, who was ineffective, gaining 53 yards on 15 carries for […]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Tony Romo passed for 351 yards and two touchdowns without an interception, but I thought the most impressive thing about his performance Sunday in the 26-20 OT win over the Chiefs was the leadership he displayed. When Cowboys were killing themselves with mistake after mistake, Romo was a calming influence, proving […]

KANSAS CITY – A 59-yard catch-and-run touchdown by Miles Austin has Dallas ahead 20-13 with 2:16 left. On third-and-5, Tony Romo hit Austin with a quick slant. He raced into the end zone after breaking two tackles. Austin has nine catches for 190 yards, both career highs, while replacing the injured Roy Williams. Does Roy […]

KANSAS CITY – Jay Ratliff showed off his athleticism when he leaped over the center to block Ryan Succop’s 53-yard field goal attempt with 3:09 left. Could Ratliff’s gem be the spark the Cowboys need to pull this one out?

KANSAS CITY – The Cowboys continue to struggle in the red zone. Nick Folk kicked a 28-yard field goal to forge a 13-13 tie with 11:10 left, but the drive should have produced a touchdown. After a 17-yard run by Marion Barber gave Dallas first-and-goal from the 9, Flozell Adams (surprise, surprise) got flagged for […]
